Xerjoff Gao represents the purest expression of Arabic oud perfumery with Italian mastery. The Italian house launched this unisex fragrance in 2012. It joined the exclusive Oud Stars collection from its very first year. Moreover, perfumer Chris Maurice created Gao to honour the ancestral tradition of Middle Eastern oud.<\/p>\n
The name Gao evokes a region with deep history in precious spice and oud trade. Its composition centres on Laotian and Thai oud combined with Spanish and Iranian saffron. Additionally, Xerjoff describes Gao as a fragrance that grounds the senses in the earth. Its uncompromising character has made it a benchmark creation for lovers of pure oud.<\/p>\n
The Oud Stars collection was born from Sergio Momo’s desire to explore authentic oud. Each fragrance in the collection uses specific-origin oud of exceptional quality. In fact, Gao employs white Laotian oud and Thai oud alongside Spanish and Iranian saffron. This origin precision reflects Xerjoff’s absolute commitment to using real ingredients.<\/p>\n
However, Gao is far more than a conventional oud fragrance. The Spanish and Iranian saffron opens the composition with intensity unmatched in perfumery. Furthermore, cypriol or nagarmotha adds a smoky earthy nuance unique to the heart. Basenotes calls it the most direct and naturalistic oud in all niche perfumery.<\/p>\n
The composition moves from explosive saffron toward an earthy heart of oud and resins. In particular, Laotian and Thai oud dominate the heart with brutal and sophisticated presence. Every note reflects an aspect of the most authentic oriental tradition without compromise.<\/p>\n
Oud, Saffron<\/p>\n
Cypriol, Gurjan Balsam, Resins<\/p>\n
Juniper, Amber, Patchouli<\/p>\n
The opening arrives with the most concentrated saffron ever found in niche perfumery. This dual-origin saffron, Spanish and Iranian, dominates the first minutes with exotic warmth. Then cypriol or nagarmotha emerges with unique smoky and earthy nuances. Gurjan balsam and resins add warm oriental depth to the heart.<\/p>\n
Finally, dry juniper, warm amber, and Indonesian patchouli create a dark woody base. This drydown evokes Arabian desert sand under the heat of night. Furthermore, Basenotes reports up to 15 hours of longevity with strong projection and expansive sillage. Gao suits those who seek oud in its most honest and uncompromising form.<\/p>\n
Gao suits adventurous wearers who love oriental perfumery in its most authentic form. Its dark and earthy character shines in autumn, winter, and cool elegant evenings. Additionally, it works perfectly for special occasions, formal events, and any moment that demands impact. Its unisex profile makes it powerful on both men and women who love pure oud.<\/p>\n
The Eau de Parfum concentration delivers strong projection and exceptional longevity on all skin types. However, its saffron opening can feel intense in the first minutes and rewards patience. Moreover, the drydown softens the composition toward a more accessible oriental elegance. Gao is a serious investment for the committed collector of true oud perfumery.<\/p>\n
